A variety of sulfides were converted to the corresponding sulfoxide derivatives with 70% t ‐BuOOH (water) as the oxidant in the presence of catalytic quantity of Fe 2 (SO 4 ) 3 . The method described has a wide range of applications, involves simple work‐up, exhibits chemoselectivity/enantioselectivity and proceeds under mild reaction conditions. The resulting products are obtained in good yield within a reasonable time. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
